Wine Review: Peter Mertes Sweet Red Dornfelder 2014

Name: Peter Mertes Sweet Red Dornfelder
Variety: Dornfelder
Region: California
Country: Germany
Year: 2014
Price: Regular $12, on sale $6.95

Winery Review: The trademark German red grape varietal Dornfelder has a lovely purity of soft red berry fruit. Integrated soft tannins combined with forward fruit flavors make for a perfectly balanced everyday sipping wine. Great with grilled red meat, sausage and chicken. Best served slightly chilled.

My Review: A very smooth wine, subtle hints of fruit, possibly cherry or raspberry.
Very soft on the palate and easy to drink. Would definitely drink this with a heavy meat meal such as steak or ribs.

I did not have this wine with food.
